This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Blood & Bone?

Quote from: JeremyR;974992Well, that's what Ken St. Andre basically does in every interview and some people basically worship him

When you're the guy who invented the heartbreaker, you can say all that stuff. Anyone else says it, and they'll be accused of just being a heartbreaker-author.

Hello, I'm the author of Blood and Bone.

I'm glad to see my game being discussed. I love D&D, too. I play it. I think it does a lot of things right. That said, I think it has some foundational flaws too.
I'm grateful for D&D, Gary Gygax, and Ken St. Andre, and all those others who blazed the path before me --
but that doesn't mean I am not critical, nor does it mean there is nothing left to design, or iterate, or learn.
I hope you all have a chance to play Blood and Bone. I think its worth it.

If you'd like to see a thorough review of the game, there's one on RPG Geek.

Quote from: Dan Davenport;973666Here's my Q&A with the author: https://gmshoe.wordpress.com/2015/05/07/qa-eugene-fasano-blood-bone/
Thanks Dan. I feel that interview gave me a good thumbnail sketch of the game and the setting.

Wow the designer really needs to work on marketing pitches. Slating someone else's games whilst promoting your own heavily derived one isn't getting me all keen and hot to check it out.

Free marketing advice, sell your game don't bash the competition. If your games good you don't need to.
Talk gaming or talk to someone else.

Corollary, don't describe your game in terms of others games (in a positive or negative aspect). Just describe your game. There's a good chance the reader doesn't like the games you like or hasn't played them.

Meh.  I'd rather spend $20 on a 100 page book I'll use than $1 on a 500 page book I regret.  

That said, I'll be giving this fantasy heartbreaker a pass.
